Please assess my risk

Hello Doctor, Please help me on my exposure. Last month Feb 27th I had sex with a sex worker in Mexico. Once we entered the room she insisted me to wear condom. After wearing condom we continued but I was not hard enough to penetrate her because I was totally drunk and did not get full erection. But I did penetrated her couple of times and since I was not fully erected she gave me handjob after removing the condom. I didnt kiss her and also I didnt do oral sex on her. After one day of this incident, I started getting slight discomfort in my throat and it continued for 1 week. I thought it was due to alcohol that I took a lot before this exposure. Then exactly at starting of 4th week I started having same discomfort in my throat which is still lasting for 1 week. I am getting mucus when I clear my throat and I am getting needle prick pain when I inhale and not excessive throat pain and had low grade fever for couple of days on and off. And also I had pain under my right armpit for couple of days and with body pain, head aches. And I felt tired for 3 days. But I didnt notice swollen lymph nodes in my body. All these above symptoms triggered me to think of HIV since I forgot to check the condom before she took off. But I am very clear that condom didnt slip because I saw when she was removing the condom. So all these above symptoms are indication of ARS symptoms? since it started exactly at 4th week after my exposure. Please help me on my above exposure? I really appreciate your help.

I am really looking for your advice... Still I am continuing with Sore throat (which is not severe) and with fever for more than a week now (not sure if it is low grade or high grade fever since I didnt read it with Thermometer) and also I have brownish dots on my shoulder which could be rash... I am just getting paranoid after seeing all these symptoms within 4th week of my exposure. I am not sure wether I inserted my unprotected penis inside her after removing the condom before she gave handjob to me... is it still possible to penetrate without having erection? I am just felling terrible of this incident and I was quite drunk that night and I dont remember if I inserted inside her... Could this be ARS symptoms? Since it has occured 4th week after my exposure... Please give me your advise on this... I am really appreciating your help....
